Throughout the years, Zain has been steadfast in its commitment to socio-economic development of the various communities it serves. Guided by our brand values and led by our strategic objective to enable inclusive and meaningful connectivity, the Board of Directors remained committed to advancing its transformative agenda to facilitate growth, economic stability and play an enablement role towards a just transition.

In a time where significant macro-economic factors are putting further pressure across the world, the severity of the impacts are felt more acutely in our region due to high youth unemployment, lack of economic diversification, climate change impacts and less than adequate public service systems previously stretched by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our resolution and business objectives are playing a crucial role in helping our markets transition to be able to expand beyond their borders to compete in the regional and global economy. As we push the envelope towards digitalization, we are addressing the digital literacy gap, engaging in strategic stakeholder engagement to provide impetus for socio-economic and environmental development.

The Board of Directors recognizes the urgent need for the business to transition holistically, to be sustainable, just, inclusive and provide value for generations to come. We are proud to report that the activation and adaptation of our vision towards a new reality is well underway, and we will continue to lead with passion and fairness.

We would like to take the opportunity to extend our most sincere gratitude to His Highness the Amir of the State of Kuwait, Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmed Al Jaber Al Sabah; His Highness the Crown Prince, Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmed Al Jaber Al Sabah, His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmed Al Nawaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah, the members of the governments in which we operate, for their invaluable support, instrumental for the continued development of the organization.

Sincerely,
Zain Group Board of Directors
